Empty Words…

How many actually listen or really want to know? People are good at uttering platitudes but when it comes down to taking action on those words they’ve put out there, they disappear like the mist in the early morning after the sunrise. People don’t really want to know. Then, after a disaster or major incident they utter the words, “If I’d only known. I never saw that coming?” How many people ask “How are you doing?” out of habit, not wanting to really know? Are you one of those people?
